At Chellaston Academy we believe that it is important for students to understand how to dress smartly and appropriately in preparation for the world of work, interviews, and formal occasions. Our uniform expectations are a standard of smart, professional attire, which allow students the flexibility to forgo full suits and ties.
Relaxed Tailoring
- Tailored clothes with no colour restrictions. Patterns are also acceptable.
- Suit Jackets/blazers and/or ties are not mandatory.
- Shirts, formal sleeved blouses, or sleeved tops required. Jumpers optional.
- Smart appropriate footwear.
- Clothes that would be seen in a professional work environment. For that reason, students would not be permitted to wear:
- Casual clothing, e.g. jeans, joggers, leggings, vests, hoodies, t-shirts, crop tops, flip flops, sliders, crocs, or sandals. Toes need to be covered for health and safety reasons.
- All students must have a Sixth Form Lanyard.
The following are not permitted:
- Extreme hair styles.
- Unnatural hair colours.
- Long false or acrylic nails, for safety reasons.
- Rings, hoops, hooks, bars, or any other facial piercing aside from a single stud nose piercing and stud/small hoop earrings.
Students may be placed into RICE if their appearance is deemed inappropriate, or deliberately contravenes our uniform. The school reserves the right to decide whether any individual’s choice of clothing is acceptable.
